All sounds pretty weird, and nothing bbPress would have caused directly; it doesn’t touch media at all.

Yikes, I forgot to list one of the most important features I need.

6) Integrated comments between the forum and the comment field of posts.

I’ve googled and browsed through the forums and finally decided just to ask the experts: Is bbPress right for me?

I’m running a WordPress site and want to start a forum. Simplicity and clean design are important to me. I dislike most of the forum offerings because it seems like you are looking at a database more than a conversation, if you know what I mean.

Here are a few things I’m looking for:

1) Works great on iOS devices.
2) Clean, non-category-oriented design. (e.g. maybe looks like Vanilla?).
3) Has a plug-in that not only shows the title of the recent post but shows a bit of the text. Again, a focus on the conversation, not the database.
4) Not buggy, not a spam magnet.
5) Easy to use for non-techie readers.

For some reason #3 seem to be a difficult hurdle for most forums. Instead they like to show the category, the post title, the author, the time–everything but teasing the reader with what is actually being said!

I did see a bbPress demo somewhere–here, I thought but I can’t find it now–that had a nice-looking theme. It was called (O)x or something like that. The “Theme” section seems to be down these past few days, maybe it was there.

Is there a way to use the bbPress forum list (parents & children) in a widget? Basically I need to create a WordPress Custom Menu with the list, but I have way too many forums to list them all out. Did I just miss something?

NOTE: I know about the bbPress Forum List widget. I need that list but for use in another widget.

Thanks!

Hello, I am using TwentyEleven and bbPress 2.1.2

TwentyEleven has a width limit 980px and that is OK.

I want to integrate bbPress but I want it to be 100% full screen width.

I do not want the whole site to be 100% full screen width.

I just want the forums to be 100% and the rest of the site to be 980px.

The problem div id=bbpress-forums is inside div id=page

page {

    margin: 0 auto;
    padding: 0 25px;
    width: 980px;
}

I don’t know how to separate these divs.

Any help? Thanks

I’m working on this now for bbPress 2.2, which I’ll most likely fast-track to address this exact issue. I consider it all a big bug, if not just quickly behavior.

[John James Jacoby]

Sounds like you’re running out of memory, or some plugin conflict. bbPress is also only really intended to work with current WordPress versions; once you start mixing and matching versions, you’re on your own to troubleshoot.

Has anyone experienced or know how to resolve this issue? I have installed bbPress version 2.0.2 (downloaded from older versions section) and the install goes fine, up until I click on ‘activate’ in the plugins.

After I do that I can no longer view my site or any page or link or anything at all, it’s just a blank page. I also noticed that in the admin section (which I can still se no problem), the ‘appearance’ menu, half the menu is missing (theme options, menu, backgrounds, header etc).

Click on ‘deactivate’ and all returns to normal.

My version of WP is 3.3.1 and I do not want to upgrade to 3.4.1 (this is why I downloaded an older version of bbPress that is supposedly compatible)

Is this just a compatibility issue with older versions etc or am I missing something on the install?

Thanks

Hi,

As I needed to have a customisable register form for BBPress, I changed the registration to the customisable fields I needed and altered the database. This works fine.

However now when a new user registers and logs in, they cannot view the profile page as a “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

When I look in the back end as an admin the user is automatically given the role of “subscriber”. If changed to “Forum Participant” the user is allowed to view the profile page, however I want the role to be set automatically, rather than the admin doing it.

So I have got to the point where in the registration process I have this code so far to fix this:

//Where $u is the newly registered user who has been added to the database

$u->remove_role( ‘subscriber’ );

$u->add_role( ” );

The problem is I don’t know the parameter in the add_role function for Forum Participants (or any other way to do this).

If anyone could tell me this it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance

I have set the forum to “Allow guest users without accounts to create topics and replies”

However when a guest attempts to post they get the “Are you sure you wanted to do that?” nonce error.

We are using 2.1.2 bbpress and 3.4.1 WordPress

[lucabarbetti]

Has it been solved? bbPress is a great plugin but I’m experiencing the same register/signup issue and I’m at a loss, I tried to look under the hood of the bbPress register and WP Multisite signup processes but everything just goes way over my head. I’have done an extensive google search for hints, suggestions, solutions but I couldn’t find anything helpful (well, at least for my low skills!)
Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
Luca

I have bbpress Version 2.1.2 installed and in the forum itself the admin’s profile shows the phrase “Key Master” under (where a normal user shows “Subscriber.” How can I change the wording of “Key Master” to something else, like Site Owner or something?

Just to be clear: Permissions and functions are all working as expected: This is purely changing the wording visible in the forum itself, just like in this forum it shows “member” under my name.

Tried searching on this with no luck. Older forum discussions mention being able to change this at the user account level in WP, but I see no options there.

Thanks for any suggestions!

[bryanforst]

Is it possibly a server config issue?
I am also getting this error:

Error: Are you sure you wanted to do that? New install, no bbpress files changed

and their fix was to move from a godaddy test server to a real domain…..

Hi,

I’d like to know if bbpress has the functionality of approving a post before its published on forum, with that also is it possible to send the user who’s post has been published an alert email?

Thanks in advance!

I’m planning to integrate BBPress to my WordPress site and I was informed that it already allows single login integration.

Does it also allow single registration? I mean, when a user registers on my WP site, does he automatically have access to bbpress? How about when a user registers on the bbpress forum, does that user get a WP user account as well?

If not, is there already a way to do this and can someone point me to the right resource?

Thanks!

I am trying to integrate my WordPress template with Buddypress (with integrated bbPress 2.1).

I was wondering if it was possible to make a popular forum entry (ex: most clicked on, most replied to, etc) into a post automatically so it would show on my main page.

Thank you!

After installing bbPress, refresh permalinks twice.

[Garindan]

It’s ok 🙂

My site was on a godaddy test server. I have moved it to final domain/server now and all is working well 🙂

[lucabarbetti]

Hello,
in my test website I use WordPress 3.4.1, bbPress 2.1.2, permalink set to /%postname%/ and a handful of plugins which I have deactivated to avoid conflicts.
Basically when I try to submit a topic or a reply from the frontend, as a subscriber, I get the ‘white page’. The topic/reply is created, as admin I can edit it from the backend, but it doesn’t have the permalink and the edit permalink button. Also, the topic/reply is counted but it is shown in the corresponding frontend lists (obviously clicking on it gives a 404-page not found) only if I’m NOT logged in as admin.
If I write a topic/reply from the frontend while logged in as admin, I don’t get the white screen but still the topic/reply is created whithout permalink.
If I add as admin a topic/reply from the backend then the permalink is created and everything works. Also the topics/replies added from the backend are the only topics/replies that are shown in the frontend list while logged in as admin.
Thanks a lot!
Best regards

when im using bbpress and posting a new message in a forum i don’t have the success message

the usual errors are there but the “your message recived” or “your post was posted” or whatever … is missing

why is that ?

[Danwp23]

Hello, I am working on a website, and I’m trying to add the bbpress forums, I install the plugin and everything seems fine, until I want to view one of the forums, it always appear a 404 error message when I try to access example.com/forums/forum/…., this only happens when I set the permalinks to postname, because when I use the default permalink, there’s no problem and it doesn’t show the 404 not found error, anyone know what could be?
